    Mojito are great. Scene is a bit cheesy with more adult options right next door. Food decent, but not for the price. Vaca was a bit salty.

    Although food was delicious, it overpriced and service was terrible. Waitress forgot my order, drinks, and sides - with only two groups of 3 seated. Won't be coming back.
